ἐκεῖνος μὲν οὖν τῇ πυκνότητι διέπρεπε τῶν φρενῶν, ὁ δὲ θεῖος Ἀλέξανδρος ἀσκήσει καὶ φιλοσοφίᾳ καὶ ἀκτήμονι βίῳ καὶ τῷ ῥεύματι τῆς γλώττης καὶ μυρίοις ἑτέροις πλεονεκτήμασι χάριτος. Οὗτος καὶ τὴν Εὐσταθίου τοῦ μεγάλου συμμορίαν, ἣν πάλαι συναφθῆναι Παυλῖνος οὐκ εἴασε καὶ μετ’ ἐκεῖνον Εὐάγριος πειθοῖ καὶ παρακλήσει χρώμενος τῷ λοιπῷ συνήρμοσε σώματι, καὶ ἐσχεδίασεν ἑορτὴν ἧς παραπλησίαν οὐδεὶς ἐθεάσατο πώποτε.
